About A Bread Affair
Our love affair with the perfect loaf is what started A Bread Affair.
A Bread Affair is a certified organic artisan bakery located on Granville Island and Langley. Rooted in community, agriculture, and the Pacific coast, our baking reflects the unique combination of soil, climate, and craft that defines Vancouver. We are not a French bakery or an Italian bakery. We are of this place, Vancouver.
Our work is grounded in West Coast values: sustainability, responsible sourcing, and certified organic ingredients. We stand against industrial food production, GMOs, and factory farming, and support humane and ethical practices in everything we do.
We believe food should be personal. Every loaf and pastry is made by hand each day, connecting our customers to local farmers, our community, and the land.
Come break bread with us.
What We Offer:
- Competitive hourly wage based on experience
- Opportunity for growth within the company
- Staff discounts on our organic products
- Friendly and supportive team environment
- Flexible shifts (full-time or part-time available)
